By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog4 commentsA recent study, done by Harvard Business School, concluded that the real problem with attracting and retaining employees has more to do with the workplace environment, not pay or benefits. While the study did find that an adequate pay plan and offering an attractive benefits package did help with recruiting and retention, it’s not enough to satisfy the needs of employees, especially those of front-line workers.
The study also stated that in 2021, many companies were convinced that giving raises, sign-on bonuses, and other perks would solve the worker shortage problem and prevent people from quitting. However, this strategy did not work. So, what does work regarding attracting quality people and keeping them employed?
Essentially, it all comes down to the culture of your company. Management: do all it can to consider the individual needs of your employees. Your employees want to feel that they have a voice, that their opinion counts, and that their role in your company is both respected and recognized. Yes, pay and a great benefits package will go a long way toward making your employees feel secure, but that’s only financial security. People want more than money.
To attract and keep top talent requires creating a company that people feel proud to work for. You need to reach the hearts and minds of your employees. Become a leader that people are enthusiastic about working for. You want your employees bragging to their friends and family that your shop is a great place to work!
Step one to attracting and retaining quality employees: Create an amazing workplace environment for your employees! Trust me, happy employees make happy shop owners too!

This week Hunt discusses if we ever really will see prices go back to "normal" and how that effects all of us.
• Do you think that prices will ever go down and what about your business? Will you ever decrease your rates?
• How can you decrease your prices if you do not decrease your employee wages?
• How are supply chains effecting prices with increases in ever single step of the distribution chain?
• If prices are only increasing because of costs, why are corporations making record profits in a time where they are supposedly short on cash?

There are 2 main reasons you need your website to be ADA compliant The number of lawsuits happening It’s the right thing to do What makes a website ADA compliant? Over 100 factors Most important factors are: Skip nav Image alt text Proper heading structure Labels on form fields Contrasting colors Clear, easy to read fonts Descriptive link text Subtitles on videos We use a free plugin with some nice features I won’t guarantee a website ADA compliant Do the basics and you’re probably good to go.
